- My family spent early Maundy Thursday morn doing the "Stations of the Cross" at a family friend's private hill which was a 10-minute drive from our house. On the next day, on Good Friday, my family attended the "Veneration of the Cross" celebration at the monastery. And just like every year, we attended a very solemn Easter vigil mass at the monastery to celebrate Christ's resurrection from the dead.
- Saturday afternoon was spent scurrying the malls, and chilling at the coffee shop.
On Sunday, we went swimming in one of the resorts in Panglao. My siblings and I were so busy wading and having a blast doing so that lost track of the time. To put it mildly, by the end of the day, we all got tan-lines and sunburns. We did enjoyed swimming in the pool, walking in the white sands, taking pictures of the awesome view, or lying in the hammocks, so it was all worth it.
- It was about 3pm when we finally decided we had enough. We then went to another nearby resort, Eskaya, whose owner was my mom's old classmate. The resort was already functional, although the grand opening was scheduled for next month. We had the opportunity to have a "sneak preview" of the resort, so to speak. And wow, was the view splendid and breath-taking! Pool-bar, hanging bridges, infinity pool, and a swimming pool for every room! You would literally forget you're just in Bohol, somehow you'd come to think that you were whisked into a hidden and secluded paradise. We were accommodated by the manager who toured us around the place. And yeah, their seafood pizza was worth every bite, too! Although the place was still under construction and I doubt if it will be completed real soon, I know it would be a very magnificent place, first of its kind in the place.
The word Eskaya was inspired by a name of a native tribe in Bohol.

There is no question the the big news out of DevCon 2010 last week was the announcement of the BlackBerry PlayBook, RIM's first attempt at a table device. The BlackBerry PlayBook had been rumored for months to be coming out by the holiday season this year, however, Rodman & Renshaw analyst Ashok Kumar says that RIM aborted 2010 BlackBerry PlayBook launch plans due to "technical issues".
In a research note, Kumar contends the company's new QNX Neutrino software platform "was not ready for prime time." He also says that the Marvell (MRVL) Armada 610 application processor the company had planned to use was "bug ridden." Kumar says the company has "jettisoned" Marvell from the PlayBook in favor of a processor from Texas Instruments.
Research in Motion has stated that the BlackBerry PlayBook will launch "early" next year. The problem for RIM, however, is that early next year in marketing speak means any time before the midpoint of the year, or, by the end of June. If the PlayBook doesn't come out before the summer of 2011, RIM may have missed its window of opportunity to have released a new device that sounds cooler than its competition. By next summer we should have a bunch of Android tablets, a new iPad or two, and even a few Palm Tablets that sport similar hardware configurations to what was announced to be coming in the BlackBerry PlayBook.
Someone told them…who told me…and now I'm telling you with great conviction that this is definetely bad….and besides, I'm shorting RIM anyway so that is why I'm so convincing….
The rumor floating around DevCon last week was that RIM basically scrapped what they had intended to release right after Thanksgiving and what was debuted was actually the second edition which wasn't slated until next summer.
I guess RIM is doing everything they can to try to move the date up but the fact that they weren't even really showing a working prototype at their conference doesn't bode well for an early 2011 release.
The ship is sinking. What a shame. Time to re-evaluate and sweep out some upper management. These issues and mistakes are costing the company, investors, and eventually market share (and I mean all market share, not what they've already lost) and reputation.
Well what were we supposed to think? That RIM had a fully-functioning, ready-to-be-released tablet right now, but didn't want to interfere with their Christmas travel plans, and so pushed the release until the next year? I don't know RIM's history in detail. I know some products have taken longer to release than we'd like, but that lag time usually refers to the rumor-stage until release duration. They usually release announced devices around when they're announced. I know the story of RIM's acquisiont of QNX broke not too long before Devcon. Could it be that the acquisition enabled RIM to accelerate its timeline for a "second generation" tablet? Was the "original", rumored-for-Thanksgiving RIM tablet going to have something other than QNX as the basis of its OS? Does the announcement by Kobo and others that they will bundle software with Playbook indicate that the thing is well along and likely to release 1Q?
Just a couple of points. RIM announced its Acquisition of QNX back in April and rumors of a BlackBerry tablet running a QNX OS started spreading not long after that.
They need to get QNX on the phones soon… seriously. I now have the pleasure of an iPhone (as my work phone) and I gotta tell ya, there is room for improvement, but once improved its look out RIM. Same for Android if they get get their battery life/drain closer to the iPhones at the least.
RIM will miss the opportunity if they don't release the Playbook before the end of the year that's for sure.


You might have noticed the flurry of movement in April and May as companies finalized compliance with Europe's General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR). LabVantage also ensured that the LabVantage LIMS platform was compliant (along with our own internal systems and workflows).
The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) replaces the Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC and was designed to harmonize data privacy laws across Europe, to protect and empower the data privacy of all EU citizens, and to reshape the way organizations across the region approach data privacy. GDPR went into effect in the European Union on May 25, 2018.
What Does GDPR Mean For LabVantage Customers?
LabVantage is committed to compliance with GDPR in protecting both your data and your privacy. For this purpose, we've made some updates to our Privacy Policies to make it transparent for you to understand what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we use it. These changes have been made for all areas of the globe – not just Europe.
In compliance with GDPR, we have or will be updating our public website and marketing and sales systems to fully comply with any opt-in or opt-out procedures, as well as handling requests for the right to be forgotten, and any additional regulations that might be required.
Although LabVantage does not host customer production laboratory systems, the security and privacy of customer data that might be encountered during our Support and Professional Services engagements is critically important to both you as a customer and to LabVantage.
Receiving data used for migration or system testing.
As with other regulations – for example, GMPs, 21 CFR 11, Annex 11, etc. – LabVantage understands it is important to deliver products that are powerful, efficient, and make our customer's compliance easy and defendable. Therefore, our next release – LabVantage 8.4 targeted for early 2019 – will deliver a customer solution to ensure compliance with GDPR.
Until that version is formally released, however, our LabVantage Support department will be available to assist customers with special tasks related to GDPR.
LabVantage & GDPR: What's Next?
How to opt-in to (or opt-out from) LabVantage emails.
Updates to existing maintenance contracts for GDPR conformance.
Finally, if any LabVantage customer has questions about meeting GDPR, you can always contact us at lvsinfo@labvantage.com.

Thousands of work-related accidents are reported each year, and preventing accidents at work should be a key focus area for any business. Besides reducing costs, effective health and safety management promotes business efficiency. In South Africa, health and safety workers are responsible for monitoring compliance with health and safety laws in the workplace.
Health and safety workers often give organisations advice on how to improve their workplace processes, and help them to implement their safety management systems more effectively. Their overall role is to make sure that there is nothing that will (or potentially could) jeopardise the health of any employee.
So what is it really like to work in OHS?
An average day consists of meeting with senior management of the company (including the MD), conducting routine inspections, dealing with complaints from employees, compiling reports, and putting together health and safety programmes. I advise my company on any changes to the health and safety laws and also on how to comply with legislation. It's my responsibility to keep record of compliance documents.
I'm currently busy developing a health and safety programme to help employees understand the potential hazards they are exposed to on a daily basis. Being in the mining industry, it's imperative that employees understand the dangers associated with their jobs, and that they take extra care when working. Due to the size of our company, I am required to travel to the different regions, as I have to keep the local management team up to date with health and safety requirements. I travel to the regions once per month.
If, like Tamsin, you want to work in the field of occupational health and safety, you will not only need the relevant technical knowledge and skills, but you will also need excellent communication skills, as you will be dealing with people from all walks of life. You will also need to be organised and diligent, and being a people's person will help.
Nice blog post and thank you for giving us such a great information about health and safety. Keep on sharing like this, I will bookmark you for future reading.

.NET does not have any classes for creating cabinet files out-of-box, so today I had to look what else is available out there. There are a couple of solutions I found for creating a .cab file from the .NET code. The one that actually worked for me was a library developed by Microsoft(!) as part of their Windows Installer XML (WiX) toolset. This toolset is distributed with a bunch of dlls as part of its SDK. The library that allows to create cabinet files is called Microsoft.Deployment.Compression.Cab and located under <WIX_Installation_Folder>\SDK.
In your project you need to add a reference to the Microsoft.Deployment.Compression.Cab.dll and to Microsoft.Deployment.Compression.dll (located under the same folder and has some base classes for types defined in the Microsoft.Deployment.Compression.Cab).
The library has an MSDN style help file located under <WIX_Installation_Folder>\doc\DTFAPI.chm.
Another dll that also comes with WiX toolset SDK is Microsoft.Deployment.Compression.Zip.dll that provides similar functionality for packing and unpacking zip files.

Alabama Football: 5 X-Factors from the Crimson Tide that Could Determine the National Championship
Slade Bolden or another Crimson Tide wide receiver will have the opportunity to step up against Georgia with John Metchie III sidelined
Alabama is one win away from another national championship. But in order to claim another title, coach Nick Saban's squad will have to go through a familiar SEC foe in Georgia. The Crimson Tide are aiming to go back-to-back after defeating Ohio State in the national championship last season, and a victory over Cincinnati in the Cotton Bowl showcased all of this team's strengths. Alabama's defense dominated the line of scrimmage and didn't allow the Bearcats to piece together consistent drives. Quarterback Bryce Young didn't have a huge statistical outing, but he made a handful of clutch plays through the air, and the Crimson Tide's offense steamrolled Cincinnati for 301 rushing yards. Saban's team appears to be peaking at the right time.
While all eyes will be on Young, Brian Robinson, and receiver Jameson Williams, a couple of under-the-radar players always break out with performances that could help decide the winner of the national championship. Which players or other aspects could be an x-factor on Monday? Here are five things to watch:
5 Alabama X-Factors That Could Determine National Title
Jalyn Armour-Davis, CB
Armour-Davis was limited to just 15 snaps against Cincinnati due to injury. How healthy is he on Monday? With Josh Jobe already sidelined for the year, Alabama needs Armour-Davis to be close to full strength or at least capable of handling a bigger snap count against a standout group of receivers on the other sideline.
Slade Bolden/Ja'Corey Brooks, WR
John Metchie III's absence and how Alabama replaces him looms large for Monday night's game. With the strength of the Crimson Tide offensive line and ground game versus Cincinnati, quarterback Bryce Young didn't need to throw 40 times to win, so there's still some mystery at how Metchie will be replaced. This duo was targeted 10 times, catching seven passes for 97 yards and two scores in the semifinal win over Cincinnati. Alabama needs that type of production (or better) to win on Monday night.
Related: 5 Reasons Why Alabama Will Beat Georgia in the National Championship
Seth McLaughlin, C
McLaughlin made his first start of the 2021 season in the SEC Championship Game, which was arguably the best performance of the year for Alabama's offensive line. He started again versus Cincinnati last week, as the Crimson Tide pounded away for 301 rushing yards. Can McLaughlin hold his own at the point of attack once again versus All-American defensive tackle Jordan Davis and a standout Georgia front? Another x-factor to watch up front: Will Chris Owens and Emil Ekiyor play after leaving the Cotton Bowl due to injury?
Dallas Turner, LB
It's no secret Alabama linebacker Will Anderson Jr. is the top defensive playmaker for the Crimson Tide, and the sophomore caused Georgia's front some issues in the first matchup. If the Bulldogs focus more attention on Anderson, Turner - a true freshman from Florida - could have more opportunities to make plays. In 14 games, he's generated 26 tackles (eight for a loss) and 6.5 sacks.
Bryce Young's Mobility
Young isn't going to call his own number on running plays very often, but his ability to scramble and make decisions under pressure could be crucial on Monday night. Georgia's front was unable to sack Young in the first meeting, which was a big part of the Heisman Trophy winner's ability to test the defense downfield. The Bulldogs will likely switch up their game plan for Monday night. With Alabama's inconsistent play in the trenches all year, if Young can slide in the pocket or use his legs to escape the rush, avoiding negative plays and keeping drives alive is huge for this offense.

Accessibility Services | Imagineeringart.com Inc.
Imagineeringart.com Inc., offers services in composition, art creation, and interactive design accessibility. As industry leaders in these fields and with practical real-world experience, we are ready to assist you in making your content accessible for all.
Would you like to see our accessible PDF? Here's our print version Accessibility Services.
Accessibility goes far beyond digital assets into every aspect of our lives. It's a way of building thoughtful interactions and distilling functionality down to its core to best suit the needs of the many. In web terms, more specifically digital book terms, we look to create consistent user experiences and to build accessible content first, thus marrying both accessibility and a modern design without compromising either.
The ultimate goal is to work together. At Imagineeringart.com, we pride ourselves in continued learning and support for the accessible nature of digital book content. Thus, we rely on industry specifications and standards to guide our thought process and unify our approach to be the most beneficial to the end-user.
WCAG 2.0 — Web Content Accessibility Guidelines offer a comprehensive and high level interpretation of the whats and the hows of building accessible content.
WAI-ARIA 1.1 — The Web Accessibility Initiative – Accessible Rich Internet Applications specification expands upon the above guidelines to include dynamic or interactive content paradigms and successful approaches that can make your dynamic content accessible.
A11y Metadata — The ally to accessibility metadata specification provides the method to denote what content is accessible and how. We adopted and unified this specification into the EPUB Distributable Objects and EPUB Scriptable Components specifications we helped to build, bringing accessibility to all book publishing endeavors.
EPUB Distributable Objects (Core Contributor) — An EPUB Distributable Object (DO) is a reusable sub package to EPUB. Leveraging this package helps publishers encapsulate meaningful content contexts and easily swap them amongst projects, styles, distribution methods, or between vendor/supply chains quickly and easily in a standardized and low cost approach. In building this specification, we saw the potential within our digital book world to make accessibility a core consideration and drove hard to include the A11y metadata into the standard.
EPUB Scriptable Components (Core Contributor) — An EPUB Scriptable Component (ESC) is essentially a Distributable Object which contains dynamic or interactive content. This specification more precisely covers accessible aspects to Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) in the digital book context.
Text — font selection, responsive column designs, proper use of semantic markup, clear heading separation, strategic font use.
Art — background/foreground contrast, text legibility, color contrast analysis, color blindness approximation, contextual and meaningful alternative text descriptions, metadata creation, layered asset exports.
Animation — beginning with solid art, uniform timing, consistent presentation, coded support for closed captioning, playback rate control, interactive event timing, flashing hazard awareness, transcripts, navigational status, robust animation controls.
Video (core art plays a significant role) — appropriate lighting, contrast considerations, closed captioning, supplemental event transcripts.
Audio — closed captioning via SRT or VTT, coded JSON captioning, background audio noise reduction.
Interactives — clear navigation and flow, scene movement announcing, cognitive alternatives, all-in-one input control (voice, keyboard, mouse, touch, pointer), focus control, off screen data tables, use of WAI-ARIA markup, accessible design/development techniques.
3D — intuitive keyboard 3D movement, described 3D associated data, color blindness real-time augmentation, color contrast real-time augmentation, 3D printable versions.
We utilize many of the industry standard tools for accessibility, while continuing to research new tools and techniques to reach the broadest audiences.
These modern web browsers coupled with the tools mentioned above, form the accessibility testing matrices that all our content is put through.
Please engage us in accessible content creation discussion. We actively strive to evolve with the movement of the industry as we all look to build content that works well for everyone.

Prehistoric and Roman
(OS 1:10000 a SP 85 NW, b SP 85 NE)
The roughly triangular parish, covering nearly 630 hectares, lies on land rising southwards between 84 m. and 112 m. above OD. It is almost entirely covered by Boulder Clay except in the valleys of small N.-flowing streams where areas of limestones and silts are exposed. Intensive fieldwork has located a number of prehistoric and Roman sites, all on the heavier clay areas.
An unclassifiable Palaeolithic flake (NM) may have come from Denton.

Infrared sauna heaters are the key components of the far infrared sauna: Here you will find answers to frequently asked questions about these critical sauna parts : •	What exactly are far infrared sauna heaters?
•	How do they work?
•	What type of these sauna heaters are available?
•	What are the parts of the sauna heater?
•	What materials are used in sauna heaters and how are they different?
What exactly are far infrared sauna heaters?
Energy comes in a range of wavelengths. The visible light we see falls into one section of this range. Ultraviolet rays and x-rays fall into other sections of the range.
•	The human palm emits far infrared energy between 8 and 12 microns.
•	The energy output from quality far infrared sauna heaters so closely match the human body's radiant energy that nearly 93 percent of the sauna's far infrared waves reach the skin.
The heaters work when an electrical current is passed through its emitter, an infrared-producing conductive material.
All professionally manufactured saunas have their heaters operated by a control unit. Most of these units are dual control, meaning they can be operated from inside or outside the cabinet. This control unit or brain can be analog or digital and allows the user to program the sauna temperature and set a timer for how long they will be using the heaters.
If you're planning on building a sauna using a do it yourself sauna kit or a sauna construction plan, you'll want to review our upcoming sauna kit page for some important considerations on which sauna heater controls to choose. Of all the infrared sauna equipment you will buy, the heaters will be the key to a high quality home sauna.
Infrared sauna heaters produce far infrared radiation to directly heat the user, they do not use steam or dry heat like a steam room or dry heat sauna does. Read more about this on our fir saunas page .
The infrared waves don't heat the air of the sauna as much as conventional sauna heaters do. Instead, they travel through the air until they run into an object (in this case the user). Then, by an energy and heat transfer process called radiation, the waves warm the object.
The heaters are activated by running an electrical current across its emmiter. The electrical current energizes and excites the emmiter and energy is radiated and broadcast from it in the form of heat and light.
A warmed up emitter is sending out FIR waves even when the electricity doesn't sound "on"
Heater manufacturers figure out what specific temperature their emmiter needs to operate at in order to produce the highest quality and concentration of desirable FIR heat. The sauna control panel toggles the heaters on and off to maintain the heaters in their ideal operating range while respecting the sauna user's requested temperature.
A sauna heater that stays on continously or that operates at a very high temperature, unless specifically designed to do so, is not necessarily producing FIR in the ideal range. When the emitter is at its optimal temperature, with or without a current passing through it, it is broadcasting FIR.
Of all the sauna parts , understanding the way infrared sauna heaters heat the user is the only complicated part.
Far infrared waves heat objects directly through an energy and heat transfer process called radiation. A simple explanation why quality infrared sauna heaters requires less heat then any other type of sauna to produce more dramatic results is defined by Planck's law of radiation.
Basically, Planck's law is a formula that calculates the range, quantity, and concentration of wavelengths (frequency) of thermal radiation. Planck's law tells us that there is an inverse correlation between temperature and FIR frequency.
Essentially, by applying less heat energy you create FIR at lower wavelengths. The FIR frequency range is approximately 5.6 microns to 1000 microns. A 9.35 Microns wavelength produces 98.6 degrees F. Heat.
There are two primary types of infrared sauna heaters. These are rod and panel. Visually it is very easy to distinguish between the two. Operationally they are both very effective and similar. I've experienced each one, and found that they both got me to sweat profusely. They also both maintained proper cabin temperature, cost the same to operate, look good, and are safe to use.
The rod style of heater uses a coated or uncoated cylindrical material as its emitter. A rod type is significantly smaller than a panel style in area and is covered by a metal grating. The panel style of heater is constructed of a conductive fabric—commonly carbon — that is attached to a frame or laminated to a substrate. The panel type covers a larger area, is typically black, and contained in a low profile framework. The fabric can be laminated to fiberglass substrates.
Due to its large area, panel style heaters provide more uniform coverage and none of the cool spots that may sometimes be associated with rod heaters.
Housing- The frame or open case that the parts are assembled within. Reflector- A shiny metalic shield placed on the inside of the housing under the emmiter used to reflect energy into the sauna room from the back side of the emitter. Emitter - The FIR-producing conductive material. Protective cover – A metalic or wooden screen that prevents the user from coming in contact with the emitter.
The most common types of materials that sauna heaters are constructed of are ceramic, incoloy, carbon fiber, compressed carbon, and carbon flat panel.
Each manufacturer, using what they believe to be the best material, claims to produce the heater with the optimal production of infrared heat! Move on from infrared sauna heaters to benefits of the infrared sauna.

By Hassan Mujtaba
Jul 2, 2013 12:51 EDT
Intel is preparing their new line of SSD 530 series which would feature the latest M.2 interface with NGFF (Next Generation Form Factor), reports VR-Zone. The SSD 530 series was previously planned to debut in June 2013 but have been post-poned till next week.
Intel SSD 530 Series Arriving in August With New M.2 Interface
The SSD 530 series would replace the current SSD 520 2.5" and SSD 525 mSATA drives which are based on 25nm MLC. The SSD 530 series would feature an updated 20nm MLC NAND Flash featuring support for M.2 interface in the NextGen form factor. Intel's SSD 530 series would most probably use the LSI SandForce SF-2281 controller but it hasn't been confirmed yet.
Capacity Product Code Product Description

OBJECTIVES: Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is commonly used as a vehicle for many hydrophobic drugs. This study aimed at evaluating the effect of low dose of DMSO (0.1%) on Pentylenetetrazole(PTZ) induced neuronal damage in rats.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Young male Wistar rats (n = 32) were divided into four groups as follows: saline control group, DMSO control group, PTZ group (35 mg/kg), and combination group (DMSO + PTZ). Animals were observed for seizure score, latency to develop kindling, percentage of animals kindled, and histopathological score of hippocampus.
RESULTS: There was a significant increase in the seizure scores and histopathological scores in the combination group as compared to PTZ-treated group. The latency to develop kindling was, however, decreased in the combination group (4th week) as compared to PTZ (6th week) group.
CONCLUSIONS: The present study has concluded that 0.1% DMSO in PTZ-induced rat model of epileptogenesis needs further optimization and should be used cautiously

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a widely used polar organic solvent in neuroscience research. Its amphipathic nature makes it soluble in both aqueous and nonaqueous media.[1] Studies in the literature have demonstrated both neuroprotective and neurotoxic effects of DMSO at different concentrations in different experimental models.[1],[2] Some studies have illustrated that DMSO is used as a therapeutic agent because of its antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and antinociceptive properties,[1],[3] while other studies have demonstrated several side effects of DMSO, including effects on the cell membranes and receptor affinity.[1],[2] DMSO is a commonly used solvent for many antiepileptic drugs in various in vitro and in vivo experimental models of epilepsy. Animal models of epilepsy are an important prerequisite to study the process of epileptogenesis. Pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-kindling model is one of the most commonly used animal models to study the antiepileptic potential of a compound.[4]
Studies have demonstrated the apoptotic and seizure-inducing potential of DMSO in the central nervous system (CNS).[5],[6] Hence, it is of utmost concern to evaluate the effect of DMSO on neuronal damage before using it as a vehicle in neuroscience research. This study was designed to assess the effect of low dose of DMSO (0.1%) in a PTZ-kindling model of epileptogenesis.
» Materials and Methods
PTZ was procured from Sigma Pharmaceutical Industrial Co, and DMSO was purchased from Merck (Merck Millipore, USA).
A total of 32 (n = 8 in each group) male Wistar rats (150–250 g) were divided into four groups: (1) saline (0.9% NaCl w/v, i.p); (2) DMSO (1 ml/kg of 0.1% v/v, i.p); (3) PTZ (35 mg/kg, i.p), and (4) DMSO + PTZ (35 mg/kg). Animals were kept at a standard temperature of 23°C ± 2°C and relative humidity of 65% ±5%. They were provided with the standard rat diet and tap water. All animal procedures and the experimental protocols were executed after getting approval from the Institutional Animal Ethics Committee (IAEC number: 68/IAEC/407).
Pentylenetetrazole-kindling model and behavioral studies
PTZ was injected every alternate day at a submaximal dose of 35 mg/kg (i.p). After PTZ injection, rats were placed separately in transparent plexiglass cages and scored according to the Racine 5-point scale.[7] An animal was said to be fully kindled when it showed a seizure score of 4 or 5 on three consecutive dosing. DMSO was given 30 min before PTZ administration every alternate day until the animal develops kindling or up to 10 weeks. For behavioral studies, seizure score, latency to develop kindling in each group, and percentage (%) of animals being kindled in each group were recorded.
Histopathological scoring for neuronal damage
Fully kindled rats were sacrificed by decapitation under the overdose of pentobarbital sodium. The brain was dissected out, and coronal sections containing hippocampus were kept in 10% formalin. Paraffin-embedded blocks were prepared, trimmed, and then stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H and E). The sections were observed for degenerative changes in the neurons in CA1, CA2, and CA3 regions of the hippocampus. The relative percentage of damaged neurons were scored using a semiquantitative scoring system,[8] which ranges from 0 (no injury) to 4 (diffuse injury).
Statistical analysis was done using SPSS statistics V22.0 (International Business Machine Corp., India). One-way ANOVA followed by Scheffe post hoc analysis was applied for seizure score, and percentage of animals kindled was analyzed using the Chi-square test. Kruskal–Wallis test was applied to histopathological score data and Mann–Whitney U-test for comparison in between two groups. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Behavioral studies
A seizure score of zero (0) was observed in rats belonging to both saline and DMSO control groups. An increase in the seizure score from 1.71 ± 0.23 at 1st week to 3.37 ± 0.88 at the end of 10 weeks was observed in the rats of PTZ group. In DMSO + PTZ group, there was a significant increase in the seizure score from 2.27 ± 0.44 (P = 0.002) at 1st week to 4.12 ± 0.35 (P = 0.034) at the end of 10 weeks [Table 1]. At the end of 10th week, the number of animals became kindled in the PTZ control group was 50.0% (4/8), whereas it was 75.00% (6/8) in the combination group [Table 2].

The neurons of the H and E-stained sections of rat hippocampus in the saline control group showed a normal morphology with intact shape and vesicular nucleus (mean histopathological score = 0.00 ± 0.00). However, in DMSO control group, some of the neurons exhibited hypereosinophilia, nuclear chromatin clumping, and condensation of cytoplasm in the H and E-stained sections of rat hippocampus, which is significantly greater (P = 0.002) than the saline control group (mean HS = 0.87 ± 0.37). On the other hand, most of the neurons of the H and E-stained sections of rat hippocampus in the PTZ group (mean HS = 2.75 ± 0.70) as well as in the combination group (mean HS = 3.75 ± 0.46) have demonstrated the condensation of cytoplasm, hypereosinophilia, nuclear chromatin clumping, and fragmentation of cell [Figure 1]. However, the damage of the neurons in the combination group was significantly more (P = 0.015) severe.

DMSO is very useful and popular solvent for hydrophobic drugs by virtue of its physicochemical properties.[1] Its use in various experimental researches including neuroscience research is very common. Despite being commonly used as a vehicle for various compounds in many in vivo and in vitro experiments, only few studies have demonstrated its neurotoxic side effects. Apoptosis caused by DMSO (0.5% and 1%) has been reported in the CNS of young mice,[5] and behavioral neurotoxicity of DMSO has been reported in rats.[9] Some animal studies have also demonstrated the incidence of seizures with the use of DMSO.[5],[10] A study by Kovács et al. has mentioned that absence-like epileptic activity of WAG/Rij rats decreased with low concentration of DMSO and increased with high concentration of DMSO.[11]
In the present study, we have reported that when 0.1% DMSO was used along with PTZ, the seizure score and the number of kindled rats were significantly increased in the DMSO + PTZ group as compared to PTZ group. Furthermore, 0.1% DMSO exacerbates neuronal damage in PTZ-kindled rats and fastens the latency of kindling in this model. Even 0.1% DMSO alone had shown potential to significantly increase the histopathological score (0.87) as compared to saline control group (0), indicating that there might have been some neuronal damage in the hippocampus of rats treated with DMSO. The present study is the first in vivo study to demonstrate the adverse effects of very low dose of DMSO (1 ml/kg of 0.1% DMSO v/v) as there were neurological damage and decreased seizure threshold in PTZ-kindled rats.
The mechanism behind this is yet to be explored. A study by Yuan et al. has demonstrated the neurotoxic mechanism of DMSO and reported that it is because of the disruption of mitochondrial membrane potential and its integrity, which ultimately lead to the development of oxidative stress, apoptosis, and decreased glial glutamate transporter expression.[12] Another study by Schroeder et al. has illustrated that PTZ kindling is also responsible for alteration in the activity of glutamatergic system of the rat hippocampus.[13] Hence, DMSO and PTZ kindling collectively enhance the glutamatergic system, and this might be a reason for the enhancement of hippocampal damage when used together in rat model of epileptogenesis. Additional studies are required to explore the mechanism behind the interaction of DMSO with PTZ.
It can be concluded that even a low dose of DMSO can enhance the hippocampal damage when used in PTZ-induced rat model of epileptogenesis and may generate false-negative results. It may also enhance the neurotoxicity of drugs dissolved in it. Hence, the use of DMSO in PTZ-induced rat model of epileptogenesis needs further optimization and should be used cautiously as it may lead to misinterpretation of the results.

But it is much more because the book succeeds as a work of art...This is surely Huxley's best book."--Martin Green

I have been super busy and remiss in posting any Friday Facts so today, I decided to post a little bit of a multiple choice question for you all to answer.
Roger Nelson is the real name of someone we have all heard of and I wonder how many of you know who that may be. No, it's not a combination of two characters on I Dream of Jeannie (Major Anthony Nelson and Major Roger Healey) so if that was going to be your guess, BONG! WRONG!
I don't remember the "Roger", but I think I remember Prince's mother being Mrs. Nelson…and not Harriet, for sure!
Are we allowed to google? lol That's the only way I'd even come up with an answer.
I'm with Trish. Can we google?
Absolutely, Lavada. FF days are all about learning.
Well, it's not Bob (?) Keeshan, who was Captain Kangaroo. So I'll have to google it.
Just back from the Google. Interesting. I had no idea that was public knowledge.
Weird, huh? That it's out there like that.

Q: Jordan form of a nondiagonalizable matrix Let A be a matrix of order $4$ over $\Bbb C$ such that rank of A is $2$ and $A^3=A^2.$Suppose that A is not diagonalizable.Then prove that there exist a vector $v$ such that $Av\neq 0$ but $A^2v=0$
Since given matrix A is of rank $2$ and not diagonalizable using Jordan form we are getting characteristic polynomial as $x^4-x^3$ but I am not getting proof for existance of $v$ such that $Av\neq 0$ but $A^2v=0$.
Thanks.

A: Hint Since $A \in M(n, \Bbb C)$ nondiagonalizable, it must have a Jordan block of size $> 1$. If the corresponding eigenvalue is $\lambda \neq 0$, that Jordan block has rank $> 1$, so $A$ must have Jordan form
$$J_k(\lambda) \oplus 0_{n - k}, \qquad$$ for some $k > 1$, but $J_k(\lambda)^3 \neq J_k(\lambda)^2$, so $A^3 \neq A^2$---a contradiction. Thus, $A$ has a Jordan block $J_k(0)$ for some $k > 1$.

Additional hint This already implies the existence of a $v$ such that $Av \neq 0$ but $A^2 v = 0$: If we write $A$ as $$A = P \pmatrix{J_k(0) & \\ & B} P^{-1}$$ for some direct sum $B$ of Jordan blocks and invertible matrix $P$, we see that $$v = P \pmatrix{0\\1\\0\\ \vdots\\0}$$ satisfies the condition.

You know my passion for taking photos of loving people, but there is a special magic of taking pictures of people who are going to get married in a little. They are at the top of their love and you are feeling it with them. Pure magic, nothing to say.
I was taking pictures of this beautiful Indonesian couple in Corniglia (Cinque Terre) early in the morning. A - because it's not too hot, B - because there is no too much people, C - because the light in the morning is wonderful. So it's totally worthed it to wake up at 5 am for the photoshoot. Enjoy & see you soon!

Delhi, India–Nearly 1,000 college-age youth jammed the street in front of the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) in Delhi when official questions to exams were found on social media on Feb. 28. Despite government efforts to close down train stations, bathrooms and internet reception near the area, the protest went on. By March 6, an investigation was ordered, but 500 students remained camped out, demanding that all tainted exams be repeated. Deepak Prajapati, 26, said: "My father is a farmer, and I have taken a loan from friends for extra classes. I have also spent three years preparing for the exams, but some students get through them on the basis of money power and by cheating. It is demoralizing." Protesters called a temporary stop after 18 days of scorching sun but 3,000 came back on March 31 to also demand the resignation of the SSC director and that President Narendra Damodardas Modi provide sufficient jobs for unemployed youth. Police chased and attacked the youth with sticks, arresting 200.

Who Asked for Leniency for Petraeus for Leaking Classified Material? It's Classified
30 Apr 2015 Peter Van Buren
Who Asked for Leniency for Petraeus for Leaking Classified Material? It's Classified Peter Van Buren 2015-04-30
Sluts all.
After selling America a bill of goods that he claimed won Iraq War 2.0 (i.e., "The Surge," yeah, how'd that work out Dave?), General Dave went on to head the CIA, where he strongly supported long prison terms for whistleblowers like Chelsea Manning and John Kiriakou, claiming in the latter case that secrecy oaths "do matter."
Then of course when it became his turn, General Dave happily handed over higher classified data than either Manning or Kiriakou even had access to, all to his adulterous lover and so-called biographer, Paula Broadwell. How's that for a two-fer, violating both his oath of secrecy and his oath of marriage in one soggy gesture?
But this is America, where justice is blind and all. Right?
So when David Petraeus was sentenced last week to a mere two years of probation and a fine that is only a fraction of what he gets paid to make a speech these days, questions were asked. Why did Petraeus get off, so to speak, so easily?
Apart from the general sleaze in Washington DC, U.S. Magistrate Judge David Keesler said as part of the plea deal he received letters supporting leniency for the general. In fact, Keesler received nearly three dozen such letters, including some from "high-level military and government officials."
"The letters paint a portrait of a man considered among the finest military leaders of his generation who also has committed a grave but very uncharacteristic error in judgment," Keesler said at the sentencing hearing.
It might be interesting to see who in Washington supported a confessed leaker of highly-classified documents. But despite Petraeus' light sentence being based in part on those letters, no one can see them. The letters were filed under seal by Petraeus' lawyers, which the judge agreed to. No explanation was given by the lawyers or the judge about what public interest was served by keeping the authors and the contents of the support letters hidden.
Several media outlets, from The Associated Press to The Washington Post, filed suit Monday with Keesler demanding that he unseal them. But unless the judge is also sleeping with Paula Broadwell (who, by the way, was never charged with unlawfully receiving classified documents) and also, um, leaks, we may never know.

Peter Van Buren has served with the Foreign Service for over 23 years. He received a Meritorious Honor Award for assistance to Americans following the Hanshin earthquake in Kobe, a Superior Honor Award for helping an American rape victim in Japan, and another award for work in the tsunami relief efforts in Thailand. Previous assignments include Taiwan, Japan, Korea, the UK and Hong Kong. He volunteered for Iraq service and was assigned to ePRT duty 2009-10. His tour extended past the withdrawal of the last combat troops.
Van Buren worked extensively with the military while overseeing evacuation planning in Japan and Korea. This experience included multiple field exercises, plus civil-military work in Seoul, Tokyo, Hawaii, and Sydney with allies from the UK, Australia, and elsewhere. The Marine Corps selected Van Buren to travel to Camp Lejeune in 2006 to participate in a field exercise that included simulated Iraqi conditions. Van Buren spent a year on the Hill in the Department of State's Congressional Liaison Office.
Van Buren speaks Japanese, Chinese Mandarin, and some Korean (the book's all in English, don't worry). Born in New York City, he lives in Virginia with his spouse, two daughters, and a docile Rottweiler.
Though this is his first book, Peter's commentary has been featured on TomDispatch, Salon, Huffington Post, The Nation, American Conservative Magazine, Mother Jones, Michael Moore.com, Le Monde, Daily Kos, Middle East Online, Guernica and others.

Marcel Carné (18. srpna 1906, Paříž, Francie – 31. října 1996, Clamart, Francie) byl francouzský filmový režisér, jeden z hlavních představitelů francouzského poetického realismu, reprezentovaného v jeho díle především snímky z konce 30. let Nábřeží mlh a Den začíná. Jeho film Děti ráje z poloviny let čtyřicátých je často označován za jeden z nejlepších francouzských filmů všech dob.

Život
Narodil se a vyrůstal v Paříži, po neradostném dětství se nechal okouzlit tehdy stále ještě poměrně novým uměním – kinematografií.

Začínal jako filmový kritik koncem 20. let a později se režisérské řemeslo učil jako asistent několika režisérů (mj. René Claira). Během 30. let již natáčel vlastní tvorbu, nejprve krátké filmy a později i dlouhometrážní. Do poloviny této dekády se datuje počátek jeho plodné spolupráce se slavným básníkem Jacquesem Prévertem (autor scénářů). Z jejich společné dílny vzešly Carného nejlepší a nejslavnější filmy Nábřeží mlh (Le Quai des brumes, 1938) s Jeanem Gabinem a Děti ráje (Les enfants du paradis, 1945) s Jean-Louisem Barraultem a Pierrem Brasseurem, který měl premiéru krátce po osvobození Francie od nacistické okupace. Po válce spolupracoval s dalšími slavnými herci (mj. Gérardem Philipem). Od 50. let umělecká úroveň jeho filmů poněkud klesala, jeho poetiku navíc odmítli tvůrci nastupující Nové vlny.

Zemřel v úctyhodném věku 90 let v Clamartu na okraji Paříže, pochován je na hřbitově Saint Vincent na Montmartru.

My most recent novella, Love In Modena, came as a result of readers of Under A Namibian Sky asking about what happens to the characters Luca and Naomi once they leave Namibia and move to Italy.
Their curiosity stoked my own and I had to find out. Besides, the characters were still talking to me!
I LOVE writing with a capital L. I've always told and written stories from as young as I can remember. I was just too busy singing opera for many years to think about publishing a novel. I guess now it's time. Inspiration comes from everywhere. Sometimes, I read something, sometimes, I experience something myself, and sometimes, I hear snippets of conversations when I travel, which greatly intrigues me and sets my imagination alight. It comes from other people's lives, movies, world events, etc. Inspiration is all around us all the time. It's just a question of recognising a great idea when it lands in your mind.
As always, I seem to be working on two projects, currently.
Having written The Healing Touch essentially for friends, I now feel it's time for a re-write. The story is about the life and death of my dear, and uber-talented friend, Steven. It is a story full of intrigue and emotional ups and downs and now that Steven has been dead for nearly five years, I can look at what happened more clearly.
My second project at the moment is a non-fiction book about breathing for singers, actors, speakers and health. I believe it's a very imporant topic. But no one has the time, these days, to read through a lot of material that can help them. As a singer in my previous life (and still a little bit for now!) I appreciate especially how important breathing is. It's time to share my knowledge and experience with others who might find it useful.
Read, read, read. Write, write, write. Tell stories, role play. And always carry a notebook. Write everything that inspires you in your notebook. And I mean everything: your dreams, paintings, songs, news articles, snippets of conversations as you pass people on the street, anything that captures your attention and your imagination. Don't think you'll remember it because you won't.
It's a bit like being an actor, I guess, I get to live many lives and many different characters, and experience and explore many different realities. Writing allows me to experience what life would have been like, had I been born in a different body, to different parents, and had different friends. It's fun. But it is also difficult to face a blank page and to make your words paint the pictures in your head that readers can visualise.
I go for long walks. It usually clears my head and if I'd been pondering a particular problem, by the time my walk is over, I can't wait to get back to writing.
I would love for you to purchase my books, read them and post short reviews about what you thought on Amazon or wherever you had bought them.

Q: NSMenu - dynamically adding NSMenuItem and Menus recursively I need to create a tree structure for NSMenu using data like
01.level1:01.level2.1:01.level3.1#123456
01.level1:01.level2.2:02.level3.2#622112
01.level1:02.level2.3#98798
rootMenuItem -> level1 ->level2.1 ->level3.1 (on click 123456 has to be printed)
                              ->level3.2 (on click 622112)

                   ->level2.3(on click 98798)

Like this we need to build 'n' level structure based on data obtained.
As of now I am able to add menuitem to menu recursively from last leaf to 1st level but unable to check the similar labels/names in previous levels and build a unique tree hierarchy as in NSBrowser.
Sine NSMenu delegates are not efficient as NSBrowser delegates, trying to achieve the same using for/while loops recurively.
Logic which I tried is not working when trying to add a menu to another menu(since always menu can be added to another menuItem).
please let me know unique logic to achieve this task.  please help us
Thank you..

Global Heritage Festival Held at Tippecanoe Library
Posted by RT Both | Oct 1, 2019 | Articles
Rose Both for the Wisconsin Muslim Journal
On a recent fall Saturday, the Tippecanoe Library on South Howell Avenue hosted a Global Heritage festival featuring story time and songs, African drumming by Jali Kunda, ethnic food trucks, and even a little dancing by an energetic toddler.
Children's librarian Miss Jennifer led a session in one of the library's large, light-filled conference rooms.
Miss Jennifer led a reading from two books about the immigrant experience for young readers. First, she read a page in English. Then the same page was read by an expert reader in either Arabic or Karen, an ethnic Burmese language.
I'm New Here, by Anne Sibley O'Brien, was read aloud in Arabic by Ream Bahhur, an MMWC board member. Her daughter, Sana, 14, a freshman at Salam School who studies Arabic, was in attendance, along with MMWC board member Isabelle Sahraoui, who resided in Tunisia for a number of years before returning to Milwaukee with her husband.
Dreamers by YuYi Morales was translated into Karen by Htee Paw, who's lived in Milwaukee for 9 years. Neighborhood House International Learning Program for adult refugees, which provides ESL classes and teaches a Path to Citizenship, was one of the sponsors of the event.
Another session was held simultaneously in the library's Secret Garden, with librarian Miss Emily, a children's librarian from Milwaukee's Central Library.
Iman, a student, translated English into Arabic on All Are Welcome, and Ann Ogren translated English into Spanish on We've Got the Whole World in Our Hands.
A Karen family, mother Ma Pyaw, 30; father Thanlwinoo, 36; and children Rosy Oo, 5; Tala Paw, 7; and Chit Moe Winoo, 11, who acted as the family spokes-girl, attended the Secret Garden session.
Also in attendance were members of the Fuchs clan, grandma Semsen and her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchild, Thomas, Carolyn, Jim, Betty, Erica, and 2-year-old Alfrie. Connir Khamphoumy, 24, a member of the Hmong community, attended as an MPL volunteer.
Back in the air-conditioned room with the colorful red rag carpet in the center, Miss Jennifer led us in a rendition of Woody Guthrie's "This Land is Our Land" and a spirited scarf dance participated in by Nina, "almost 2," her mom Paloma, and her grandma, Rosa.
Then we did the scarf dance. Though most people remained seated, Nina was all in. Sava, as befits the dignity of a fourteen-year-old, declined to participate, but the adults waved their scarves.
And finally, we sang a good-bye song, using first the English, then the Arabic and Karen words for good-bye: mahapuran and ba ba. Little Nina fully participated on "ba ba."
A few quotes from Dreamers:
"When we made it to the other side, thirsty, in awe, we became immigrants."
"Until one day we found a place that we had never seen before, unimaginable, surprising – the library."
"Books became our language. We learned to read, to speak, to write, and to make our voices heard."

A unique biography of Sri Aurobindo, which was written by Rishabhchand Samsukha in response to a request from The Mother, reviewed chapter by chapter by Nolini da, and translated by Andre Morisset for its bilingual publication at the Bulletin over the period of 10 years starting in 1960.
After his release, Sri Aurobindo […] delivered his famous Uttarpara Speech, which was a revelation of some of the spiritual experiences he had in the jail and of his changed outlook on life and its divine potentials and destiny.
Sri Aurobindo […] left the country what he called his last will and testament. The "Open Letter" is a very important document, as it contains almost all the essentials of Sri Aurobindo's political thought and action, and we give below long extracts from it.
India has won political independence, but she has yet to regain her soul. She has yet to realise that she has a great destiny, a marvellous future, more glorious than her past, and an unprecedented mission to accomplish for the world.
Why should he bother about himself and what would happen to him when he knew in every fibre of his being that the Infinite Love had taken charge of him? He belonged neither to himself nor to the world, but to God alone and he was happy to be thus possessed and moved by Him for the fulfilment of His work.
About a week after Sri Aurobindo was lodged at Shankar Chetty's house, a distinguished French thinker and scholar, Paul Richard, came to Pondicherry… "He was sent from France by Mira — she whom we know as the Mother." She had given him the sketch of a Yogachakra (a mystic symbol) saying that its interpreter was to be found in India and that he who would interpret it was her master and guide in yoga.

THE VOYAGE OF JONAS
Heart of Cygnus
FragileKings
I first gave Heart of Cygnus a listen on iTunes several months ago. With a name like that (Rush influences worn on their sleeves), they had to be good. At least that's what I thought. But what I heard failed to inspire me to order an album, let alone download a song. Skip ahead to March, 2013 and I noticed that they had a new album, "Voyage of Jonas". I randomly selected samples from iTunes to listen to and found myself interested enough, mostly for the song "Jonas" which sounded like "Hemispheres" era Rush with a touch of modern metal.
Well, I have to admit that I haven't been in nirvana listening to this album. The Hemispheres Rush sound is there in guitars and synthesizer on two or three tracks and it's fun and enjoyable if not as close to a ripoff (I prefer to be kind and say "tribute") as one can get. There are also some good heavy riffs, pretty piano parts, and rousing vocal choruses. Heavy bombast is often contrasted by melodic acoustic and slower parts. That's all good. Keen ears might also pick up on the Iron Maiden influences the band is said to have, though I find them less obvious than the blatant attempts to celebrate "Hemispheres" in two or three tracks.
The album is also a concept album, so each song tells part of the story of the voyage of Jonas from his mundane port town life to sailing amidst polar ice floes to battling wargs, White Witches (doesn't it sound like he went to Narnia?) and mages. In this way, it's fun to listen to the whole album through but it does sound a bit adolescent meaning it sounds more like Narnia than Middle Earth.
The key to this notion might just lie in the vocal department. This is the second time I have picked up a so-called progressive metal CD this year and been struck by the thought that the vocals sound suspiciously like the emo-rock band, Sugar Cult. Both prog metal bands happen to be American, by the way, the home country of emo-punk. And even though I used to listen to one of Sugar Cult's albums a fair bit back in the day, I don't like finding myself thinking of emo while listening to what should be progressive metal. In particular, the "whoa, whoa, whoas" of "Sailing North" sound way too much like emo-rock to me. I like the variety in the music, but the vocals need more guts and testosterone for my preference. Say what you want about Geddy Lee in the seventies but he had power in his voice. And as far as Iron Maiden goes, I think Bruce Dickenson is one of the best metal vocalists in the history of the genre. So Heart of Cygnus, despite their efforts at times to infuse their music with the music of their influences, are lacking in the vocal department. So I feel.
Overall, this album has its moments and good tracks, and the music is diverse with sincerity and played with skill. But I was listening to it again recently and trying to pick out a good stand out song for a playlist to burn to CD and I have to confess that I found myself struggling to pick a song that I would want to hear while driving and listening to a collection of great songs from other albums. Any song that sounded good enough at first left me thinking that I might feel tempted to skip in while playing the mixed CD. That's not an encouraging sign. The conclusion might be that as a concept album it's simply better to listen to it from start to finish than to pick out individual tracks.
Tell you what. If later on I have some epiphany about this album and suddenly realize that it is a brilliant piece of work, I'll change my review. But so far I have to say it's pretty average as a good album (I emphasize "good") but in a way, so far, easy to forget that I purchased it along with so many other very good to incredible albums which get much more playtime in my ear buds.
